The Garrison Center was founded to help navigate the challenges on the journey from obesity to vibrant health. For people who are severely overweight, bariatric surgery may be an important step in the process of losing excess weight. The center's founder, Dr. Jordan M. Garrison, Jr., performs minimally invasive Roux-en-Y and LapBand procedures in appropriate candidates.

Surgery is just one piece of the puzzle however. Those who choose surgery also need caring, comprehensive support, education, and assistance with a full range of elements for a successful long-term outcome. With compassion and a focus on the practical needs of its patients, the Garrison Center is committed to working with patients through each of these steps.

In addition to providing pre- and post-surgical education, the center's expert staff provide rigorous education and support regarding nutrition, dietary changes, and exercise. Psychosocial needs are addressed by professional counselors with sensitivity and expertise. The center also hosts clothing exchanges, recipe exchanges, and support groups where patients can share their experiences and encourage one another.
